DIY Holiday Shoes…

Standard

This weekend ushers in my first round of Holiday Parties…and I’m feeling a need to jazz up my footwear without spending a fortune! 

Here are three fun & inexpensive ways to update your pumps or flats…click images for directions!!

Sparkle On…

Standard

While packing for Vegas I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to finally wear all the sparkly, shiny and otherwise ostentatious outfits hanging at the back of my closet!

Here is some of my Sin City “Sparkly” Inspiration…

Go Ahead…Sparkle On!

A Little Sparkle…

Standard

When I watch movies at home I almost always use that time to paint my nails as well…that way they dry as I’m entertained by the film, otherwise I get impatient & smudge them!  So I’m thinking that this weekend while I curl up to watch I should try out one of these techniques from Emily at Cupcakes & Cashmere.

I love that Emily’s nails are pretty short…just like mine (I cannot for the life of me grow long nails without chipping them).  I also love that these two simple nail types are adorable without being too ostentatious!

Simple, Gold & Gorgeous…

Standard

Delicate, gold jewelry is a favorite of mine…not just for its beauty, but also its versatility.  It can dress up or down an outfit and it remains timeless & classic, without being ostentatious.  These pieces from Austin-based Fail Jewelry on Etsy are just that, simple, gold & gorgeous…

Drooling over Jewelry…

Standard

I’m a tad bit obsessed with jewelry…shiny, sparkly, colorful earrings, necklaces, bracelets & rings!  How gorgeous are these lust-worthy pieces from the Etsy shop Friedasophie…and the best part is their price tag isn’t too outrageous!

…Check out the Friedasophie shop on Etsy for many more stunning pieces.  It’s hard to choose just one to buy!

Happy shopping…
